Korea-Japan project audition show ‘Great Tokyo Girls’ 15 finalists have been revealed. The 15 were chosen out of the 2500 participants.
The finalists ranged from 27 corporate worker to middle school 3rd year student cum ex Swi.T member, to model off Ceci photoshoots. The finalists were picked by the producer of ‘Morning Musume’ looking at their online audition videos submitted.
The winners from this audition show will form the group ‘Hello Project’.
In the photo: Hong Ji Yeon (18), Kim Yoo Bin (23), KIm Jung Eun (27), So Yoo Mi (18), Kang Da Yeon (15), Kim Cho Hye (21), Yang Yoon Soo (17), Song Ji Eun (18), Kang Mi Kyung (21), Lee Hae Ri (17), Oh Mi Na (21), Ahn Ha Yeong (23), Ahn So Ri (22) and Lee Soo Jin (23).

Great to see they're already playing up the lolita concept by dressing them all in EGL clothes /sarcasm.
The range of ages is a little different than I expected: 15 to 27. Perhaps Kim Jung Eun (27) will be the Korean Nakazawa Yuko? I'm reserving judgement until a) we get a bigger picture, more background info and b) actual show footage of these girls singing which will hopefully pop up soon.
Also mods I had no idea how to tag this.

The name of the group at the end of the audtions will be known as Haro Project and the members will be chosen from Korea. The preliminary cut for the Great Tokyo Girls search will air on Mnet in mid-May with 2PM’s Junho and Chansung confirmed as hosts for the program.”

Date: 2009-05-23 05:27 am (UTC)Some have potential, but the editing is so choppy and quick that I can't get a grasp for how the girls are. Also the sound is too low in some parts. >.> Maybe better off waiting for better videos...

Date: 2009-05-24 02:08 am (UTC)2. Grey sweater, 1487: Kim Jung Eun
3. White tee, 1595: Kim Cho Hye... looks more like Chon or Chun Hye to me, but whatever.
4. Yellow shirt, 1604: Kim Hae Young.. I guess she's not actually a finalist, because that's what her nametag clearly says.
5. Pink shirt with the guitar, ... 702?: Park So Hyun? So Han? So Hun? I can't see clearly. Holy hell, she looks like Nacchi. She might not actually be a finalist, either...
6. Blunt bangs & white tee, 121?: Seo Ye Rin? Huh. Her name doesn't seem to be on here either.
7. Corn rows, 134: So Yoo Mi. Holy hell, that dance. XD
8. School-girl outfit, 841: Song Ji Eun
9. Grey dress: They never get a close-up, so I dunno.
10. Blue sweater, 17: Ahn Ha Young. I loooove her voice. Although the trot imitation was kind of... unnecessary. XD Trying to be like that guy in Kanjani8, honey?
11. Tan sweater, 635: Yang Yeon Soo. A Gee auditioner!
12. Red sweater, 996: Oh Mi Na
13. Pink dress and cute hat, 286: Lee Da... something. I don't think she's actually a finalist either. :/
14. Tan dress, 1486: Lee Soo Jin. Aww, cute, she auditioned with Aruiteru.
15. Red hat, 251: Lee Rae Ri? Maybe? She might not actually be a finalist either. :/
16. Lacy dress, 1020: Kang Da Yeon. Ah, the elusive 15-year-old. Old by H!P standards! That was a really half-assed version of "Ah!" that she danced to, though.
17. Grey sweatshirt: I dunno. No close-up, moves too much. She's adorable, though.
18. White sweatshirt, 185: Hong Ji Yeon? Either my vision sucks or my romanization sucks... or her handwriting sucks. :| Could be Song Ji Eun, I guess.

That's all I could come up with. There's 15 finalists, but 18 different girls, but 5 girls whose names didn't seem to match with any of the given finalist names?? Help?? I'm usually fairly confident in my hangul skills, but clearly I'm off. x_x

Date: 2009-05-23 07:58 am (UTC)They should try to dress them in Baby or Angelic Pretty though.. the dresses are prettier.

Date: 2009-05-23 07:43 pm (UTC)Not 100% sure, but I thought when they started weeding out girls they were going to go to a boot camp in Japan. Maybe that (sorta) explains the crack name?
